Hello people. At the bottom I explained some parts of the story. So when you're done reading, if there's anything that wasn't clear, go look down there and see if it's one of those. If not, message me your question to me, or just leave it in a review.
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy.

Introductions
Alucard, instead of going ahead by shadow like usual, simply walked to the debriefing room. Elizabeth to his right, Mariann to his left, Seras a few paces ahead with Pip to her right and Alucard's crude eyes watching him ever so closely, the group trekked on.
Pip, every once in a while, sent nervous glances back at the two girls that, once again, looked fourteen. Every time he looked, he was rewarded with looks from two pairs of hypnotizing eyes and two dazzling smiles (not to mention Alucard's penetrating ruby glare and devilish smirk) that sent him turning back forward quite quickly, puzzled and unnerved. Although Pip found this bewildering, Alucard found it particularly funny. Seras and Pip could hear the three behind them chuckling lightly, though only Seras could hear bits and pieces of their whispered jokes.
"Did you whisper whisper whisper?"
"Yes. Can you whisper whisper…Good. Whisper whisper."
"Look. He's about to whisper whisper. I've timed whisper whisper. Whisper whisper every two minutes he whisper whisper."
Most times though, all she heard were the giggles emitted very faintly by the two girls, due to something funny Alucard must have told them telepathically.
But finally they reached the door to their destination and Seras and Pip quickly walked in. Seras hesitated before closing the door behind her, merely out of habit.
Alucard and the two girls waited outside, listening for the right time for their "Grand Entrance".
---------M&L--
"Pip. Seras," there was a questioning undertone to Integra's voice when she noticed Seras was without the girls.
Seras simply replied "Master" which got an "Oh" that sounded disappointingly surprised to only those who knew her best. Like Alucard and Walter for instance.
Knowing Alucard would be around, waiting somewhere for her to say something to trigger his appearance, Integra continued.
"There is a small, barley-heard-of town twenty miles south of here by the name of Crown Hill. That is where you have been assigned tonight. Now, don't get ahead of yourselves. This won't be an ordinary night. We have taken on new recruits."
"Hahaha. Are they anymore of 'em rookies?"
"Or better yet. Maybe them new recruits be some'ore girls! Since Seras here don't want nothin' to do with us, b'sides friends."
The two harlequin's outbursts got the rest of 'The Boys' all riled up and hollering and shouting.
Uncharacteristically, Integra stood there smirking, while Seras stood over in the corner she had on her first meeting with the Wild Geese. Pip just sat in his chair, ashen-faced and staring disbelievingly at Integra.
Eventually, Integra decided the men had had enough of their fun and called it to an end, "Men. I'd like you to meet our two newst weapons."
---------M&L--
On the other side of the wall, Alucard opened a single portal and then looked down at his two girls, inviting them to go on through it. But all in vain. The girls just looked up at him and smirked as two portals opened up in the wall space on either side of his. With his usual Cheshire cat grin back in place, Alucard entered his shadow, the girls entering their own a pace or two after him.
---------M&L--
The men, always frighteningly intrigued when Alucard enterd a room, all stared. But at the sight of the two smaller portals opened up on either side of his large one, all of their eyes widened and a few even quietly groaned. Pip, being one of those that groaned, also dropped his head back into his hands. Seras watched blankly, and Integra looked on, a mix of slight disappointment and satisfaction present in her eyes.
---------M&L--
His smile still in place, Alucard's head and shoulders became visible while dark blue and red swirls began to show in the two other shadows. By the time Alucard was all the way out, he had two young women that looked to be twenty or so, standing on either side of him.
Integra stared indescribably at the two girls, knowing they were the same two that she had seen earlier but had only looked younger. Seras lightly smiled knowingly, while Pip took one look and resumed his head's position in his hands. The usual silence that follows the girls' entrances filled up the space as the rest of the men stared on at the two who cast their trapping, predatory gazes around the room. Letting smiles, similar to that of their father's, show across their faces.
"Ahem. Sir Integra. They'll need to be lea-" Walter was cut off when he too caught sight of the two girls. Like Integra, he knew they were the same two he had fed only two hours ago, but unlike her, he didn't hide his puzzlement at their current appearance.
"Yes, Walter," Integra asked, once again breaking the silence.
Breaking his eyes away from the girls who had looked at him as if they knew something only he too knew, Walter restarted the sentence he had come to tell Integra.
"The men will soon need to be leaving."
"How long?"
"Twenty minutes."
"Oh, yes. Right. Thank you, Walter." Turning to Alucard, Integra stated, "I'll leave introductions to you, since you and Seras seem to be the only ones around here that know their names," before she started walking away. As she past the girls though, the words "Be careful. These are treacherous times for you..." stopped her. But when she looked down at the two, she found their eyes not on her, but on Walter as he walked out the door.
---------M&L--
Alucard too had given a sharp look at the girls after their statement to Integra, but seeing as how they weren't going to elaborate in their assumption of Walter, he let it drop. At least until later. Turning back to the group of men staring at his girls, even after Integra had left the room, Alucard's smirk once again replaced his previous frown. Unintentionally listening to Elizabeth's telepathic joke of, 'Turn that frown upside down.'
"Ah…I see you have taken a liking to my daughters."
At Alucard's words, the men's eyes, unbelievably, widened even more than before. Even Pip whipped his head back up and looked intently at the two girls. Seeing as how much they looked like Alucard, his eyes too practically jumped out of his head. He hadn't known that they'd been his kids. He'd just thought that Integra had-Alucard had-maybe Seras-no. She wouldn't do that. He didn't know what he had thought. He'd just…accepted it, as unnerving as it was. But finding out that Alucard had KIDS? Now that was completely and utterly unbelievable. Plus. Vampires can't reproduce! …Can they? But they're dead!
Alucard's announcement left the whole of the group speechless. It also had the two girls giggling inside his head at the men's expense.
"I also see the fact that I'm a father shocks you. Well, because Integra has ordered me to, I'm happy to introduce Elizabeth"-he motioned with his right arm to her and then motioned again with his other arm to his other daughter-"and Mariann. They'll be staying with us now that their mother is dead and I'm happy to say that they're quite a bit like myself." All this he said with the same sickeningly sweet smile that his two girls had used on him earlier, once again, shocking the men because he actually smiled instead of smirked. Even if it was a sarcastic smile.
"Nice to meet you all."
"Yes. Nice to meet you."
The two girls said this with curtsies and sweet smiles. And although they were portraying prefect innocence, their thoughts were far from innocent. Some thoughts they let slip to Alucard, but most of the time he'd mentally shake his head in the negative or as way of saying no.
Seeing as some of the men's gazes had turned from shocked looks to appraising or what we'd call 'checking-out', not to mention some…thoughts he picked up, Alucard spoke again, a low growl heard in his words. "Don't you get any ideas"-He glared at all those who he'd noticed ogling his daughters-"They're only fourteen."
Gasping up at their father, the two girls whined.
"Daddy!"
"Why would you do that?"
"Yeah. Ruin our whole masque!"
And right before the men's eyes, the girls turned back into their fourteen year old bodies as they complained to their 'daddy' and flashed impish, fanged grins in their direction.
Alucard didn't even glance at the girls. He just kept on warning.
"And we'll both"-he motioned toward Seras who had started moving toward them-"be watching, since I'm obviously their legal guardian (being their father and all) and Seras is now (from what Integra and The Girls say) their so called 'new mother'."
At this Seras stopped right in her tracks, embarrassed and blushing, and all the men's heads, including Pip's, snapped in Seras' direction.
MASTER! Why would you tell them that? Do you know what they'll be thinking now?! They'll be thinking you and I-
Have sex? Let them think whatever, Police Girl. You know what? Just to jog their minds a bit…
"Oh, Darling. Don't just stand there, embarrassed by the facts," Alucard said to Seras. Eliciting giggles from the two girls and a deeper blush from Seras.
"Come on, Mommy!"
Seras moved unwillingly, knowing the only way to get the attention off her would be to obey Elizabeth, Mariann, and Alucard's command.
Once beside Alucard with the girls on either side of her, one under each arm again, the attention once again found its way back to Alucard and his two girls.
"H-how str-strong are…they," a man somewhere in the back asked.
Smirking, Alucard replied, "Why don't you ask them?"
Seeing as it was their turn to talk, Elizabeth and Mariann stepped away from Seras. One just looking into the crowd, the other watching the group, her head cocked to the side.
"You want to see what we can do," Mariann asked. "Want to know what we can do," Elizabeth added, an eyebrow raised.
The whole congregation nodded their heads in unison, all watching the two girls intently.
Both smirking, Mariann said, "Well. You've already seen two acts. We can make portals"-one opened up on the wall behind them-"and change our appearance so that we look however we choose," as she and Elizabeth changed their mien in front of the men. First young and red-headed, then a little older and purple-eyed, then old and gray, and then change again.
Next, Elizabeth spoke up, stopping her changes with Mari following suit. "We, like our regal dad, can make people do what we want. Kind of like hypnotism, but instead of a swinging object on a chain or whatever, we use our eyes. Example?"
The Geese hesitated but in the end they all nodded.
Slightly turning her head in Pip's direction, Elizabeth captured his eyes with hers while Mariann did the same with another man. The two men got up and slowly walked toward the two girls. Standing in front of them, the men stared zombie-like. Reaching up, Elizabeth stroked Pip's cheek, "Good boy. Now…sit." And so he did.
Mariann, too, voiced a command. "Turn." And the man did. "Whistle." And once again the man obeyed.
"Enough of an example for that one," Elizabeth asked the rest of the men and they nodded the affirmative.
"Good," and the two snapped their fingers and the men looked up, as if coming out of a trance. "You can go back to your original seats," Mariann told them, both girls smiling.
"Lets see…We have familiars." A flaming, blue parrot and a dark blue and red striped black tabby kitten jumped out of the floor and onto their masters' shoulders with black claws and red eyes, staring out at the men somberly.
The men watched; engrossed by the show that these two mere girls were putting on.
"Oh. And unlike the vampires you kill and more like how we personally believe real vampires should all be like"-the girls gave a accusing glance at Alucard over their shoulders-"we can feed off humans without actually turning them into vampires or ghouls if we choose not to."
"Now, we wouldn't have a problem showing you this. One reason being real human blood tastes way better than that fake medical crap they're feeding Daddy and Mommy. But I don't think Auntie Integra would appreciate it very much if we just chose two of you at random and chomped down on your necks."
As everyone (including Seras and Alucard) stared at the girls, who stood so relaxed in the middle of the room, they continued. Not really noticing the looks they were getting.
"And I'm sure you've all figured out that we're telepathically strong. But we wouldn't want to harm you, so we won't give you a demonstration. Knowing guys," both girls smiled secret smiles. "You'd all want to see the best we could do in that aspect, since you can't actually see it. But if we used the height of our prowess on you, we'd…well, hurt you."
Once they were finished with their explanations and demonstrations, the girls turned around, smiling, as Elizabeth said, "Now you know what we're capable of and why we aren't virgin-" as if asking what was wrong, she turned to Mari who just shrugged her shoulders.
Both Seras and Alucard just watched the two girls. Alucard's gaze seemed cool, calm, collected behind his shades, while Seras just out right gawked at them.
Slowly turning back to the Wild Geese, they saw the same look Seras held, mirrored in all their faces.
"What," Mariann asked.
A complete and awkward silence followed and the girls slowly backed up until their backs were against a wall. Fortunately for them, Walter walked in a few minutes later and told the group it was time to head out.
Ah ha!
Another chapter done, and the next still to come.
Ha…I just unintentionally rhymed. Dumb.
Okay. So just to clear some things up:
1.) Integra's disappointment in the situation was due to the fact that Alucard and the girls are getting along quite well. Because if you remember from Names, she said yes because it was a way (or so she thought) to get back at Alucard for all his pranks and all the extra paperwork he conjures up for her to do.
2.) Um…the whole Walter thing? Well if you read the manga you know where this is coming from. I'm not going to go into it too much. Maybe in the next chapter though I'll bring it up one more time to show the girls' one last power or whatever they are. It goes hand-in-hand with telepathy though. Whenever I do the last power I'll kinda explain a little more.
3.) I know I used Pip a lot in this but he's already been associated with them and they know he's nervous about them so they use and abuse that. They are Alucard's kids after all. And being a girl I can say, girls can be much worse then boys when it comes to mischief.
4.) When everyone is staring at them after their announcement that they can drink from humans without turning them into ghouls or vamps. You have to understand. They're telling people who only know and have only thought of vampires as monsters who unmercifully kill people for their blood and so that they become their 'puppets'. Same with Seras. As for Alucard…I don't know yet.
5.) Um…When Elizabeth says, "and why we aren't virgin-". No that doesn't mean that they hypnotize men they find hott and then raped them. Gross. No. Plus. That would hurt their pride. And (once again) they're ALUCARD'S KIDS! Of course they're going to be vain and egotistical! I'll further explain what they meant, further on in the story. Everything should come together well.
6.) And as for the familiars. The flaming blue parrot is Elizabeth's (Yes. The parrot is a pun. On what you ask? Think about it. What's that flaming bird called again? You know... The one that is reborn from its own ashes? Oh yeah…A Phoenix.). The parrot's feathers are the same color blue as in fire; not orange or yellow or red, I didn't like that. It's used so much already, and blue just matches them better. (Plus. Isn't the blue part of fire, the hottest part of it? hm..) And as for Mari's kitten…Umm…she came up with it, so you're gonna have to ask her...And to clear up their description; the parrot has a black beak and black claws and is a bright fiery blue, the kitten is a black tabby with red and blue stripes, black claws and both the kitten and parrot have red eyes.
7.) Oh. In the chapter before this, when Elizabeth says she's just as dumb as Mariann, she wasn't calling them dumb. She was referring to their shared conscience. If one's dumb then the other is too. But they're far from dumb. They're very smart but are a bit on the lazy, hyper side. It gets annoying and weird to those who don't know them. But they don't care who doesn't like them. They're themselves and whoever doesn't like them, to Hell for those people. And also if you saw when I told that Mariann and Elizabeth are based off of Mari and myself. We're not really whores. We can bitches. Bitch and Whore are really just like whatever. You have to know and be with us when use and talk about it. And the names Bitch and Whore. We call each other those but we're not really whores. lol. As for bitches..I guess you'd have to be judge of that. Just to clear that up. Don't want you guys to get the wrong idea. lol.
Uh...Sorry this explaination thingy was so long.
But if there's something else that isn't clear, feel free to p.m. me with your questions or REVIEW them to me. : ) lol
